Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...

The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

In the 1990s, Something Weird Video hypnotized a generation of movie maniacs by unearthing the most radically surreal genre films of all time—all via the magic of VHS. DRUG-O-RAMA VIDEO PARTY is a loving tribute to those cathode-tube-fueled days. Featuring four drug-and-sex-crazed features—all preserved from the original Something Weird S-VHS masters—this collection serves as a time machine to a beloved era in home video history.

HELP WANTED FEMALE (1968, 68 mins, B&W)
Dementedly campy and just plain demented, this sexploitation murder-party stars Sebastian Gregory as an LSD-fueled serial killer named Sebastian Gregory.

HEDONISTIC PLEASURES (1969, 55 mins, Color)
"This is Hollywood, baby—the world's biggest whore!" So begins this bizarro, psychedelic "documentary" about La La Land's sexual underground from the producers of THE HARD ROAD.

ALICE IN ACIDLAND (1969, 54 mins, B&W/Color)
One-part After School Special and all-parts unreal, this dreamy riff on Lewis Carroll's classic follows a drug-crazed sex kitten as she plunges headfirst down the wrong rabbit hole.

THE HARD ROAD (1970, 85 mins, Color)
The ultimate collision between exploitation and classroom scare films, this knock-out by director Gary Graver features a role from Liz Renay (John Waters's DESPERATE LIVING) and more pill popping than VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

heaven

"Hard to beat a package like this! Many films, all of them worthwhile, and great supplements to round things out. If you're not boring and you love the psychotronic era of films that we sorely miss, then look no further."

— William M. (5/5)

AGFA releases are perfect for the background of a party

"This release and so many other AGFA releases are slowly consuming me! I need to get ahold of all of them cause there hasn’t been one I’ve seen yet that I haven’t liked."

4 Films from AGFA + Something Weird

"This four film set from the Something Weird S-VHS masters features psychedelic sexploitation films from the late 1960s/early 1970s. "Help Wanted Female" is probably the best of the bunch. "Hedonistic Pleasures" features the great Pat Barrington and Maria Lease. Offers an 'all night slumber party mode' to watch all 4 movies uninterrupted."

— Jason P. (5/5)

A hit you can feel

"Fun collection of shorter films, definitely worth a watch"

— Steven R. (5/5)
